The bullpen is important, but it can be helped by starters being good and giving six and seven inning...5354Tue, 14 Feb 2017 03:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-daily-top-prospect-countdown-15-11-r5347/Many Twins players and Twins minor leaguers are already in Ft.

Today, we’ll look at the first basemen and third basemen (And a bunch of DHs too). Pending any last minute moves, the Twins’ opening day corner infielders are likely set. Joe Mauer will play a lot at first...5346Fri, 10 Feb 2017 02:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/2017-minnesota-twins-roster-projections-the-middle-infielders-r5344/The offseason was spent full of rumors about whether or not Brian Dozier would remain with the Twins or be traded. As we knew all along, the decision made on Dozier would cause a trickle-down effect on the whole system. It now appears that Dozier is here, well, at least for the time being. The org...5344Thu, 09 Feb 2017 02:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-twins-rhp-prospect-juan-gamez-r5341/Juan Gamez grew up in Tucson, Arizona, went to junior college in his hometown for two years and then made the trek north to North Dakota State University where he spent his final two college years.

It’s seemingly always been a position for which we say they have plenty of options and more in the future. And the future is now, though there are still several more outfield prospects...5340Tue, 07 Feb 2017 07:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-kernels-rh-rp-tom-hackimer-r5339/With their fourth pick in the 2016 draft, the Minnesota Twins selected Tom Hackimer, a right-handed relief pitcher from St. John’s University in New York. He had been drafted in the 15th round in 2015, but he returned to college for his senior year. He works with a sidearm delivery that can keep h...5339Tue, 07 Feb 2017 01:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-twins-lh-rp-prospect-austin-tribby-r5335/The Twins used their 35th-round pick last June to select left-handed reliever Austin Tribby out of the University of Missouri.

It’s a fun exercise to try to predict. I’m going to include everyone who is currently in the organization. As you know, the unfortunate side of the busi...5331Fri, 03 Feb 2017 05:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-twins-outfield-prospect-matt-albanese-r5328/Matt Albanese’s college career came to a premature end when he fractured his wrist. But the Twins scouts saw enough in him to make him their seventh-round pick in 2016. After signing at Target Field, he went to Ft. Myers to begin the rehab process. Soon after, it was found that he had a ligament t...5328Thu, 02 Feb 2017 03:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-twins-rhp-prospect-griffin-jax-r5320/Many times when a player is drafted early in the draft, there are many questions. What can he do? What will he need to improve? Will he sign? How long until he potentially gets to the big leagues?
